Hi,
OS : Windows 7 64 bit
Browser : Apple Safari (Windows) and Google Chrome
Java version:
iPad with iOS 4.3.4
I'm making a Web site for iPad so I want to see instant changes of CSS on my iPad url like I can see with Chrome Developer Tools on my PC.
I've Webserver (XAMPP) in my PC and my website's files are in htdocs folder. http://localhost/test/index.html
I can also open my local file on my iPad by using this url http://192.168.1.106/test/index.html
I want to debug CSS of webpage in my Google Chrome Developer tools and changes should be seen in iPad , without saving the actual file
I downloaded this Jar file from this link https://github.com/downloads/phonegap/weinre/weinre-jar-1.4.0.zip
then I extracted weinre.jar in my PC's E: drive. e:\weinre.jar
Then I ran the this command java -jar path/to/weinre.jar in dos prompt
Now what would be the next step? Help me to setup.

You're almost there.
To allow your web page to access the weinre server, you will need to
add an option to bind the server to all your network interfaces. To
do this, instead of running
java -jar e:\weinre.jar
use
java -jar e:\weinre.jar --boundHost -all-
Instead of having to enter this option all the time, you can create a
"server.properties" file in a folder named ".weinre" in your "home"
directory. For Windows, your "home" directory is usually "C:
\Documents and Settings\<yourUserId>". In that "server.properties"
file, you'd enter the line:
boundHost: -all-
This is documented here:
http://phonegap.github.com/weinre/Running.html
From the same machine you are running the server on, open a WebKit-
based browser (Safari or Chrome), and go to:
http://localhost:8080/
From there, there's a link to the "debug client user interface" which
is the debugger itself.
You will then need to insert a <script> tag into your application. In
your case, it would look like this:
<script src="http://192.168.1.106:8080/target/target-script-
min.js#anonymous"></script>
Reload your application to get the new script loaded, and you should
see it connect to the "debug client user interface".

Looks like Windows does not want to let you create a directory with a
"." in the beginning of the name, via Windows Explorer.
Use the command prompt instead.

The weinre server, by default, runs on port 8080. I have no idea what
port XAMPP is running on, but it's probably 80. As long as XAMPP
isn't using the same port as weinre, you shouldn't have any problems.

currently running on". So that URL will be pointing to the weinre
server when you view the page in a browser that's running on the same
machine the weinre server.
When you view that page on an iPhone, "localhost:8080" is the iPhone.
You're not running a server on your iPhone. So that's not going to
work.

"ipconfig".

Please stop posting images, at least the way you're doing it. It's a pain to look at these.
If you paste in the text of the ipconfig command here, instead of an image, I'll respond.

It looks like 192.168.0.102 and 192.168.0.100 are your ip-addresses,
so that's what you would use. Either one. But you said you tried
192.168.0.100. Is your iPhone connected to your wifi? How are you
accessing your XAMPP server from your iPhone?

I've tried both 192.168.0.102 and 192.168.0.100 both are not working.
Yes I'm opening my local file on mobile using XAMPP.
My XAMPP server is on and I can open my file on my iphone using this url http://localhost/skarp/mofomo/ipad/index.html
If I stop XAMPP then I cannot open my local file on my iPhone.

min.js#anonymous">
doesn't work then. Seems like it should. Anything printed in the
command prompt window where the weinre server is running?
Can you browse to http://192.168.0.100:8080/ on your phone?
What version of iOS are you using on your phone?

But http://192.168.0.100 is working on your iphone, it takes you to
your XAMPP server, right?
So is http://192.168.0.100:8080 working on your windows machine? You
can see the weinre page from there? I'm guessing it's not, but it
should be. You should see a page from the weinre server.
Dunno. Maybe the code to set the ip address the server is bound to (--
boundHost) isn't working properly in Windows. Pretty sure other folks
have gotten this to run in Windows though.

entering that URL, starting with the file:// bit, on your iPhone.
Which won't work.
Perhaps your XAMPP server is caching the file that includes the link
to the weinre target script.

So, the script src line should be:
min.js#anonymous>"></script>
not what you entered, with multiple "<" and ">" chars.
And no, you can't keep that script in a local file. It needs to come
from the weinre server. If you can't get the file, because you can't
get to the weinre server, then the file doesn't matter - you need to
be able to connect to the weinre server to use weinre.
It seems like there's something odd with your set up. I can't offer
any more help. Might see if you have a local guru available who can
help out.

And when I open the nodes of code in Developer tools, it's taking time to open.

to weinre
I've seen weinre run slowly on Windows XP before, but thought the
problem was with my box, since I couldn't reproduce the problem. I've
opened an issue:
https://github.com/phonegap/weinre/issues/18
Until I figure it out, not sure what to tell you. Try turning off
virus checkers, etc? Try running it on another box. If you don't
have another physical box, you could try it on a Linux running in
VirtualBox or other VM.

Just as a note for future reference,
I was successful in getting this to work with my device via WIFI by specifying the local IP of my development machine running the debugger client. i.e.
java -jar weinre.jar --boundHost 192.168.0.104
For some reason on my machine it wouldn't work binding all hosts - I think perhaps due to the fact that I've got some reduntant VM hosts lurking around. In anycase when testing on an actual device this is the only way so far that I have found to work as even though my device is connected via USB I can't get it to connect to the host computer other than over it's wifi connection?
Hope this helps at least somebody!

Huh. Yeah, would be good to know why that doesn't work. Maybe it's a Windows thing? Having VM "magic ip interfaces" shouldn't really be a problem, I don't think.
There used to be this old lurking problem in windows if you ever bound to 0.0.0.0, even implicitly, where the OS would take forever to try to DNS resolve the address. Never understood that one. Easily fixable by adding 0.0.0.0 to your hosts file with a dummy name. The problem was especially bad because DNS APIs almost always block, so you get these interminable waits at odd times. That may be (or was) the issue with "weinre on windows runs very, very slowly" that I've seen from time-to-time.

Since weinre only uses http for communication between the target-server-client, you'll need ip connectivity at those two boundaries. I believe Android can funnel ip traffic over it's ADB connection over USB, but ... you'll have to configure it a tiny bit. Don't think that'll work for Apple gear. Other devices/SDKs/connectors, who knows.
Going over wireless on the device is usually the thing that will always work. If you're doing wireless via your telco service (eg, your phone's connection to Verizon vs wifi), then you have an additional problem of opening a server port that your phone can see, esp problematic if your server is behind a company firewall.
